Still Popular Today: Gears of War

After winning 30 Game of the Year awards and selling around 5 million copies, you would think that Gears of War would have faded into the background, but that hasn't been the case.

Released in 2006 the game is still popular today, especially with the much-anticipated release its sequel, (and subsequent let down) of Gears of War 2.

The emotion behind the storytelling mixed with the fight scenes and the realness of the characters is what brings the game together and makes it cohesive.

It's also what prompted the July 2008 re-release of the game in a two-disc set designed to give any gamer a great ride. In addition to the game there's a trailer and extras for the sequel, multiplayer map packs, and other multiplayer achievements to enhance the gaming experience. The limited collector's edition has a book and a DVD on the making of the game, and comes in a metal presentation box sure to please any Gears of War fan.

Video Game Review: Rock Band 2

Set for release in September, Rock Band 2 builds upon the first Rock Band video game but yet moves to new heights. The online, multiplayer experience is even better than in the first game and the downloadable content and multiple instruments means that the game never grows tiresome or gets boring. There is always something new to be changed or added.

Tracks and downloads that were purchased for Rock Band will work for the sequel, so there's no need to re-download anything. You can pick newer and better instruments and the online connection works to bring the whole Rock Band community closer together, resulting in an immersing experience unparalleled by other music games. Rock Band 2 is available exclusively for the Xbox 360.

Video Game Review: Gears of War 2

Sold only for the Xbox 360, Gears of War 2 is a much-anticipated sequel. As a tactical action game, it's fast-paced and adrenaline-charged. It's predecessor, Gears of War, sold 4.7 million copies and and ranked among the most popular Xbox games in history.

The second installment picks up six months later and continues the epic battle between humanity and the Locust Horde that lives underground. While the game is full of action there's also a story there – it's not just about killing enemies.

The reluctant hero, Marcus Fenix, seems to really understand the emotions of loss, survival, and retribution. Couple that with more weapons, new characters, nastier enemies, and better locales, and there are more thrills and more emotionally and physically charged moments for any gamer who was a fan of the first Gears of War installment.
